What is the fuel consumption of the Beidou Star 1.0?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Beidou Star 1.0 is 6 liters per 100 kilometers. The Beidou Star is a multi-purpose family passenger vehicle jointly developed by Changhe Suzuki and Japan's Suzuki. It represents the crystallization of aviation technology and Japanese technology, as well as the perfect combination of science and culture. Below is an introduction to the Beidou Star car: 1. Engine: The Beidou Star is equipped with Suzuki's K10A ultra-lightweight aluminum alloy engine, controlled by a 16-bit microprocessor that manages ignition timing and fuel injection intake volume, improving the vehicle's fuel economy. Due to the compact design of the engine compartment, the radiator is positioned on one side of the front of the car, which might pose a challenge during summer driving. 2. Interior Design: The dashboard design is conventional, not particularly fashionable but not outdated either. The speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge are neatly arranged and easy to read. The 4-spoke steering wheel offers good tactile feedback, with no interference in observing the instrument indicators while driving. The layout of various functional buttons inside the car is also very reasonable, with no inconvenience felt.
I drove the classic Beidou Xing 1.0 for several years. With a manual transmission, it typically consumes 6.5 to 7 liters per 100 km in normal city driving, and can go up to 7.5 liters in heavy traffic. On highways, it's particularly fuel-efficient, needing just over 5 liters. The fuel consumption of older cars is closely related to their condition. My neighbor's Beidou Xing, with 250,000 km on the odometer, saw its city fuel consumption drop from 8 liters back to 6.8 liters after replacing the fuel injectors and spark plugs. The car's lightness is key to its fuel efficiency—weighing less than 1 ton and equipped with Suzuki's K10B engine technology, which is indeed sophisticated. The independent ignition system in the engine bay is much more efficient than traditional distributors. However, if the clutch slips or the oxygen sensor fails, fuel consumption can skyrocket to 9 liters, so watch out for black smoke from the exhaust.
